[QUOTE="Shiroiken, post: 7445743, member: 6775477"] Your character background should probably be a major focus of your character's activities away from adventuring. Most people have jobs, or at least work they can do to get by. My current PC is a mercenary "transport mage" who uses Tenser's Floating Disk to help transport goods across the harsh jungle environment (horses and other pack animals aren't used due to the dinosaurs and other monsters that would prey upon them). When not adventuring, I'm usually chatting up the merchants' guild members to look for work, doing said work (if I have a week or two off adventuring), or crafting alchemical items. My previous PC was a noble knight of a fallen realm. He would spend his downtime meeting with other nobles in exile, or schmoozing with the rich merchants of our new homeland (the noble lifestyle is pretty expensive). Never got to do much along this line though, as I died 3 sessions into the campaign. In the last campaign, I had a soothsayer shaman whose free time was mostly taken up by serving as priest and seer to the common folk. My only true pleasure was attempting to forge a romantic relationship with another PC (stuck in the friend zone). [/QUOTE]
